It seems that the problem is /home/e-smith/configuration is:
drwx------ 5 admin admin 4096 Mar 30 03:02 Maildir
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 4655 Aug 30 21:15 accounts
-rw------- 1 root root 3659 Aug 31 10:17 configuration
With no read permissions for the group the script is unable to query the
e-smith database.
Should these be the permissions on the file? If not, where are they set?
